in length. made of wood strongly re-
sembling cedar and vanished with nat
ural gum. Evidently portion of the
stem has been broken off, for the bone
mouth-pieCe does not fit securely. There
appears to have once been a cap, On the

ing fawn resting on lily pads. The
termination of the stem under the bowl
may have been intended to represent
either the Prov of canoe pushed out
into the leaves, Or a single petal of
lily. Flint arrow heads have been found
